Great Expectations movie review

Jarvis 2022-04-01 09:01:19

I haven't seen any other movies of Dickens's changes before, but I think this one is not bad. When I read the book, I thought that Pip disliked McGevey so much. I was really angry when I saw it, but the movie was alright. In the absence of that kind of sharp contrast between before and after conscience, based on the analysis of the characters in the story, I feel that Miss Hammerson is really pitiful. Also, do some people have to experience life and death to regain their conscience and character? It looks very worrying!

    Full of star faces and super-superb British style, such a complex plot was shot too warmly, without climax, and without various points, as if every adaptation was a flogging to Dickens..

    It's over, even if it's Ralph Fiennes like this, I'm still Su Chenggou btw as an adaptation of a famous book, it's really boring
